Elden Ring movie could be in the works, George R.R. Martin interested in never finishing the script

George R.R. Martin hinted at talks of an Elden Ring movie and whether he'd be able to work on it.

How good would an Elden Ring movie be? What if George R.R. Martin wrote šŸ‰the script? Welš’€°l, we might never know.

In an interview with , George R.R. Martin admitted that “there is some talk about making a movie out of .” He played a key role in the gameā€™s worldbuilding, and Martin worked closely withšŸ’œ FromSoftware during dešŸ»velopment.

However, he acknowledges that writing a movie script would likely only happen after he finishes The Winds of Winterā€”the long-overdue sixth entry in A Song of Ice and Fire, the series that inspired Game of Thrones. He is 13 years behind schedule, and while he has admitted he may never finish it, he still treats completing the book as his top priority. That makes it unlikely he would write a rumored Elden Ring movie script anytime soon.

FromSoftwareā€™s past comments also hint about an Elden Ring movie

While George R.R. Martin has been cautious about discussing an Elden Ring adaptaā™•tion, FromSoftware has hinted at the possibišŸ’ƒlity at least twice.

In June 2024, Elden Ring game director Hidetaka Miyazaki told : “I donā€™t see any reason to deny another interpretation or adaptation of Elden Ring, a movie for example.”

However, heą¹„ nošŸˆted that FromSoftware doesnā€™t have the expertise to make a film and that it would require a ā€œvery strong partnerā€ to bring it to life. While George R.R. Martin could be one of those key collaborators, Miyazaki was likely referring to an entire movie production company as well.

Later, in December 2024, Miyazaki remained vague about Elden Ringā€™s future in an interview with Japanese website but didnā€™t deny anything: “At this point, we are not considering an Elden Ring 2,” he said. “However, that does not mean we are ruling out further developments for the Elden Ring IP. As for what comes next, FromSoftware, as always, has multiple projects in progress.”

While Martinā€™s recent comments fuel speculation, FromSoftware has yet to make any official announcement about an EldenšŸŒ³ Ring movie.
